The shipbuilding industry has achieved another remarkable achievement! "Mediterranean China" super large cargo ship delivered

The "Mediterranean China" was designed by Hudong Zhonghua, a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, and is classified by Det Norske Veritas (DNV). The ship has a total length of 399.99 meters, a molded width of 61.5 meters, and a molded depth of 33.2 meters. The deck area is close to 4 standard football fields. The maximum number of container stacks can reach 25, which is equivalent to the height of a 22-story building. It can load 24,116 containers. Currently, it is the container ship with the largest container volume in the world and can be called the “super cargo king” at sea. The ship uses a bubble drag reduction system for the first time, which effectively reduces the ship's total energy consumption and can reduce more than 6,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions throughout the year. It is known as the "Green Big Mac."

According to statistics, so far, Jiangnan Shipbuilding and Hudong-Zhonghua, two Shanghai shipbuilding companies under China State Shipbuilding Corporation, have completed and delivered 13 of the world’s largest 24,000TEU-class ultra-large container ships, 8 of which are MSC Made to Measure. The "Mediterranean China" is scheduled to launch its maiden voyage on October 13, with the destination port of Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
